about

Here's something you didn't know...

As we were waiting to soundcheck at a gig at Belgrave Music Hall (Leeds) in early 2018, we sat down to do some writing, just the two of us in the corner of the empty venue, with unamplified guitar and bass. Dan showed me a riff he had and I played along. I remember going from the root E up to the F# - the movement you hear when the band all come in on the recording and we were both like - 'that's it! Cut to a few months later and Dan has the whole thing down except the chorus, which we got sorted in a writing session. The lyrics are pretty much all Dan's. 'Cafe Disco' itself is a reference to the US version of the sitcom, The Office.

lyrics

Lyrics:
Tell me all your guilty pleasures I’ll tell you mine
I’ve been singing a little song I like it’s called Summer of ‘69
You don’t like it
And if I say how you’re doing you say you’re doing fine
You were just a complex kid; you hadn’t done the things you did
We’ve got that one track that my god takes us back
To when summer went so fast, but those nights went on forever
And hearing your headphones ring out music on the school bus
You were a big fan of The Cure you were heaven

Down on the corner, they all know us, ‘cos they’re all like us
Down at the disco, Café Disco, just the place to stay

Yeh it’s all about the time you came down to the show
You said when we’re on stage, that more than the lights go
Oh you’re so romantic and I’m just across the room
I look at you with long hair and that cliché teenage stare
School, was so cruel to us
But something I’ve heard says that you’re pretty good with words
And the songs we made, had some harmonies made
‘Cos you were a big fan of The Cure you were heaven

Down at the disco, Café Disco, just the place
Down at the disco, Café Disco, just the place

Jenna and John got married, and this became their wedding song
Our parents said we should be outside on a sunny day
But we just kept dancing

Down on the corner, they all know us, ‘cos they’re all like us
Down at the disco, Café Disco, just the place to stay
